Nsw Registration - Unreg Vehicle

[Herbz]

Hi Guys,

I'm from the ACT and am looking to buy a vehicle that is currently in Sydney.

I plan to register it in NSW instead of ACT though because of the problems of passing a roadworthy here.

Now the current car I'm buying has been unregistered for 3 months, the buyer said he can supply a Blue slip or register it for me.

Which is the better option, him registering it or getting the Blue slip and doing it myself?

If I do choose to register it myself, will a Blue slip be all I need?

If he register's it for me will there be any documentation/blue/pink slips I will need to transfer it into my name?

Also, when registration time comes around again will another Blue/Pink slip be required?

I can't really figure out NSW registration properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Let him sort the rego; and cover green slip/ rego cost for him.

That way you don't get stuck with any potential issues to sort.

Okay sweet - Will the green slip need to also be transferred over too?
Also when registration time comes around again will I have to get a Blue/Pink slip to put more rego on it? or is it just as simple as adding more?

Does anybody know the price of a transfer of registration also?

Greenslip = 3rd party compulsory insurance ( this is minimum insurance that is required every time you renew the registration ) if yearly every year
Pink slip ( is a safety check done by a qualified mechanic every time the registration is renewed)

Blue slip ( is a safety check that is more detailed than the pink slip as it is done when the car has not been registered in the last 3 months , if the car is an import or transfer from another state, Basicaly its a pink slip that is more full on as the car would be unregistered and it needs to be deemed safe for roads

registration depends on the model, type , weight of the car so the NSW RTA (roads and trafic authority ) or as they are now known the RMS (Roads and Maritime Services) will have a record of all those details and together with the blue slip or pink will calculate a registration fee

to transfer registration you will need to pay a fee at the RTA (RMS) all these details should be on the RTA website
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/index.html

PS once the registration expired you will need to pay for Green slip again and then get a pink slip form a Mechanic registered on the NSW system and finaly re register it at the RTA (you may need an address here stating that you live in NSW)

Yep, let them do all the hard work

pink slip is the yearly rego inspection.

it must be done at an authorised inspection station(most mechanical workshops).

the rego transfer(last I looked) was 25, plus 3 for every hundred of the price.

eg, 1000 would be 25 plus 10x3, so 55.
